[Ficticious]

what's wrong with this? presuming you mean wavs

[MoonUnit]

This thread makes me LOL.

if you don't know how to do something or what something does... why not do research about it rather than just accepting you don't know how to do it?

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

Damn it moon unit. You have ruined the thoughtless moaning. I liked it.

because no one wants to download that file size? Most are usually 10Mb aren't they?

[Artie_Fufkin]

I can't hear over 19kHz. I tried googling it but I don't think it will help. . .

[syrup]

eh, convert them to mp3 then?

[Artie_Fufkin]

Convert to flac or ogg and tell your fans to use vlc.

[chekov]

people who complain about file sizes over 10mb are never going to care about wavs anyway

a lot of 320 mp3s are more than 10mb anyway :S

some of the posts in here are silly, like not mixing down or mastering that much, and not using much eq or compression (if any), or not know how a flanger works but knowing what it sounds like.

You are saying them as if its some taboo, like, you dont need to do/know any of that to make good tracks. Plenty of people do minimal eq and compression but stil make banging beats. you dont need to know how a flanger works, just aslong as you know what it sounds like and what it is going to bring to the track.

Yeah, this.

Like the guy who said "I don't bounce down to audio, I keep it as midi"- who said you have to bounce down to audio? If you are low on CPU or like mangling audio more than midi, that's fine, but it's not a negative to not do it.

There are no right or wrong ways to art

Remember when this wasn't a toxic board and people like Datsik and Excision posted here?

[Jizz]

You telling me dude.
That thread I created yesterday for production tips got zero responses other than yours and mine.
Seems strange that folks won't contribute their own info, they'd rather spend all day making the same bass poops.

I loathe the sound of a Rhodes
